SCHOOL-READY

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Our Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)

Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore
and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations®
Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.

Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)

As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore
their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best
through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and
confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)

At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early
Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our
holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early
education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.

Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)

As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program
enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through
independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math,
science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.

Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)

Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten®
program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With
small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have
all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.

Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)

Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment.
That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and
after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences.
From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.

Interactive Kindergarten (5 - 6 Years)

A full-day interactive Kindergarten program that utilizes new curriculum with an interactive smart board making first grade readiness a priority.

Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Don’t miss out on KinderCare’s Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting,
educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is
designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs
of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.

Participating Child Care Aware Center

KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America in an effort to offer fee assistance for Active Duty military
families and solutions to their child care needs when care at a Child Development Center on the installation is not available.

Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program

Math

The Math Adventures enrichment program is designed to teach important mathematics concepts such as geometry, numbers,
measurement, and probability. Your child will learn about length, height, and weight. He will learn about shapes and
solids. He will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and count money. Math is everywhere and giving your child every
advantage now will add up to success later in life.

Music

Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves.
Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which
can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.

Phonics & Reading Adventures

Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books,
games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him
confidence and command of language.

Spanish

Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with the Spanish language. Music,
games, children's Spanish literature, and other tools give children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and
see Spanish language for vocabulary and conversational development. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers,
colors, animals, family, body parts and pets as well as how to get engage conversationally during common scenarios
at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo. Qué pasa?

I love the service that KinderCare provides for my child. I feel safe and at ease knowing my child is in great care. She loves the staff, center and room she is in. When I drop my daughter off I know she is happy and getting the best care.

Our daughter has been in the program since she was 6 weeks old. As new parents we were so worried about leaving our baby that young. The love our baby received while at KinderCare was second to none. The teachers truly care about our daughter and our family. We were able to work with the teachers as our daughter grew and moved through bottles, cereal, baby food and eventually table food. The teachers were so great about getting our daughter moving. They gave her plenty of time to move her muscles, so her development was on track. They even did some painting and activities with our little princess and took pictures for us to see. We was so impressed that they were more than just a daycare even in the infant room and did activities with the baby. We often picked up while they read a book with her or simply playing on the floor with the kids. It has been clear from the beginning that every infant teacher loved the babies.

She has recently moved to the toddler room. Again, we were nervous about the transition, because there are so many changes from infant to toddlerhood. But again our expectations were far exceeded. The routine of the toddler room helped get our daughter into wonderful sleeping habits. She has become such an independent girl. She learns something new everyday from her new teachers, Ms Kate and Ms Nickie. Every day she is learning new words and trying her best to say them. She is always so excited to continue the learning she has started at school. We had no idea how much a toddler could soak up, but Ms Kate is always striving and teaching her new things. She has been an absolutely amazing teacher and genuinely cares about our daughter. This is the place our daughter started at 6 weeks old and it will be the care she is still receiving as she moves to the public school system and beyond.

We started coming to KinderCare 2 years ago when our son had just turned 3 years old, and we recently moved to the area from the southside of Indianapolis. We visited other centers, but we knew right away that KinderCare was right for our family. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and our son joined right in with the the classroom activities during our inital visit. He is always excited to get to come and play with his friends and he absolutely loves all of his teachers! During the summer, there is always something fun going on for the kids and the curriculum is year round. KinderCare has been a life saver for us in preparing our son for Kindergarten. We know without a doubt that he is ready. We cannot imagine going anywhere else.

My family began our journey with KinderCare in 2006 and almost 10 years later we are still here and loving every minute of it. From the moment our son entered the infant room we felt a strong bond building with the teachers who cared for him everyday. They have so much love to offer and the way they eased our nerves with the first time drops off was beyond amazing. There were no feelings of regret about my wife returning to the workforce because we knew that the love and care he would be receiving was top notch. We have a watched him grow from a little 3 month old into a 9 year old boy with so much enthusiasm to learn. As we transitioned from room to room we made lasting relationships with new teachers and new parents. The Director and Assistant Director are like a second family to us and we can count on them almost night and day!! What's even more impressive about this center is bringing our infant daughter into the same room almost 5 years later and being greeted by the SAME teachers our son had...you cannot find that in every center. While new teachers have come on board we have been lucky to see a lot of the same faces and remain exceptionally close to those who have moved on.

There really are not enough positive things I can say about the center at Fishers Landing Dr...they have far exceeded my families expectations for early childhood education!!!
